What to Do About an Impounded Vehicle | Example
I was talking with a client the other day and it was kind of an extreme situation. He was going so fast that he was arrested, and they literally impounded his vehicle. This particular case, it was the State Police, so it was impounded and delivered to their premises, whereas in a city, they usually have some type of fenced in area just for these vehicles. In any event, we needed to go and get that vehicle back. We went through the whole process, as far as filing an appearance in court and going to court, so that they had jurisdiction over this case, and once we were able to do that, I was easily able to go to the State Police and get that vehicle released so my client could use it for his family and for work.

What to Do About an Impounded Vehicle | Hire a Traffic Ticket Attorney
The easiest way to deal with a ticket is to pay the fine and accept the penalties. However, this option may not be right for a driver under certain circumstances. Because each of New York’s cities, towns, and villages has its own ordinances regarding traffic violations, a parking ticket in one area may impose a significantly higher fine than a ticket from another part of the state would bear. It is simply not feasible for every driver to pay lofty fines, and especially when a driver is in fact innocent of the traffic violation, it can make more sense to fight a ticket than to pay it.
If you have been charged with a traffic violation in the state of New York, fighting the ticket involves pleading “not guilty” in a court of law. Because the protocol for fighting traffic violation tickets varies by municipality, you should speak with an experienced Jamestown traffic ticket lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that you are responding appropriately. You may represent yourself during the hearing but seeking representation from a traffic ticket attorney will be instrumental in helping you to get your charge dismissed. Be sure to show up for your court date, or a warrant may be issued for your arrest.
